What side to view refueling?

I remember reading in some of the West Bound Panama Canal Cruises that the ship actually gets refueled before it enters the Canal. Does anyone remember what side of the ship that was - Port or Starboard? If so will you tell?

Every time I've seen the ship refueled, at Panama City and in Port Canaveral, it has always been on the port side. It isn't really horribly exciting - they just pull a barge alongside the ship and hook up a couple of hoses. When we were in Panama, it was dark when they refueled, so you really couldn't see much.

Ditto--not much to watch, but always port side.
